Beautiful YOU

Try to buy local and organic foods, purchasing items that are in season.  Buying this way ensures that you have the freshest food and the least amount of chemicals.   Supporting local farmers is a great way to support the community you live in, as well.  Here is a great homemade barbecue sauce recipe that includes onions, which I know are nearing their peak readiness in the next few weeks.   Give this a try with your favorite dish on the grill.

Barbecue Sauce (Vegan Style) 
1 large can of pineapple juice (drain a large can of diced pineapple)
5 TBSP Agave Nectar
1 TBSP red wine
3 TBSP apple cider vinegar
3 TBSP catsup
1/2 cup water
2 TBSP cornstarch
1 green pepper, diced
1 medium onion, diced

Boil the pineapple juice and agave nectar.   Meanwhile, dissolve the cornstarch in the water.   To the pineapple mixture, add the vinegar, wine, pepper and onion.  Slowly simmer to a boil, then add the water and cornstarch slowly. Whisk and simmer to desired thickness.


There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies, disguises, and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you.
